Les Twins (Laurent Nicolas Bourgeois and Larry Nicolas Bourgeois), the self-taught duo that became well known when their street dancing videos received millions of views on YouTube and made their way from performing on the streets of Paris to sharing a stage with Beyonce, Jay-Z and Missy Elliot, won the inaugural season of NBC's new dance competition series "World of Dance." The program was led by a judging team of extraordinary dance superstars - Jennifer Lopez (who also serves as an executive producer), Derek Hough, NE-YO and host/mentor Jenna Dewan Tatum.

Leading all music nominees this year, CNCO kicked off their first headlining tour this year, the Más Allá Tour, which has visited over 40 cities in 14 countries in the U.S. and Latin America.

His latest hit in collaboration with CNCO, “Hey DJ,” is nominated for Party-Starting Song by iHeartRadio. For the first time as a solo artist, after conquering fame as part of Chino y Nacho with their signature tropical and pop sounds, Nacho is churning out his own successful songs.
